2017 Share Your Ears Campaign Generates $2 Million for Make-A-Wish

Tony DiTucci

Since 2013, Tony DiTucci has served as vice president of DGA Builders, LLC, in Pittsford, New York. In his role with the company, he oversees a variety of projects in markets such as senior and multifamily housing. Alongside his professional activities, Tony DiTucci supports a number of charitable organizations, including Make-A-Wish.

Make-A-Wish leverages the work of donors, volunteers, and corporate sponsors to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. For over 35 years, the organization has benefitted from the ongoing support of Disney, which has helped grant the wishes of over 120,000 children since 1980.

During the 2017 holiday season, Disney and Make-A-Wish invited fans and supporters to help raise money by snapping a photo featuring Mickey Mouse ears and sharing it on social media with the hashtag #ShareYourEars. For every photo shared, Disney Parks donated $5 to support the work of Make-A-Wish.

Although the total contribution for the 2017 campaign was originally capped at $1 million, overwhelming support from fans worldwide led Disney to double its donation to $2 million. Disney Parks also donated $2 million to Make-A-Wish during the first Share Your Ears campaign in 2016.
